Well...yes blog world, I am about 10 months behind on blogging but it's time to catch up now because, yes, I am pregnant! I need to start chronicling this journey to motherhood. So, I figured what a better time than now...since I think I am feeling our baby kick me right now!
I am 16 1/2 weeks along and due at the end of March. I thought it might be a few more weeks before I felt anything, but this has taken me aback while I've been trying to get motivated to do my grad school homework tonight! Michael is gone late tonight--the HS volleyball team had a game in Daegu, a few hours away, and they are due home in about an hour and a half. Hopefully he will get home before I go to bed so I can share the good news with him. :)
We're affectionately referring to our baby as "Rain Drop" right now. Michael find this very humorous. When we first found out we were pregnant this summer, I was very adamant about not having any little "pet" names for the baby...like peanut or bean or whatever. Sometimes they just annoy me, I don't know why. But then I decided, well, if we're going to have a pet name, I want to choose it myself! So...I came up with the little Rain Drop. I think it's fitting, and not many others can use that one. :)
Here is how we announced the baby on Facebook (because that's really the only way to announce things these days, isn't it?)...
I thought it was cute and a little bit clever. I didn't want to do the typical "post your ultrasound picture as your profile photo so everyone knows you are pregnant" type thing. haha I sound like such a wet blanket, hey? I have also vowed not to create an album on Facebook of pregnancy photos, week-by-week. Of course I am taking the photos, but the only people that I am sending those to are my mom and mother-in-law (and occasionally some friends, but not every week)!
If you DO like to see growing tummy photos, I will share some with you on this blog over the course of the next 5 months. Stay tuned...
